Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that all-cause mortality was associated with age (p < .001), diabetes mellitus (p < .001), coronary heart disease (p = .004), HGB (p = .032), albumin (p < .001), ferritin (p = .02), PLR (p < .001), and NLR (p < .001) (Table 2). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
